P0431 - Provision of School Improvement Services

Notice Description

Birmingham City Council (the Council) wishes to invite potential suppliers to express an interest in the provision of school improvement services. The Council is commissioning school improvement to raise standards in schools and to improve outcomes for all children and young people in the city. The service will extend across statutory school age provision, and include a focus on improving outcomes for vulnerable populations. The Council's role following the awarding of a new contract will include involvement in the decision making surrounding the use of the statutory powers of intervention (including IEBs and warning notices), managing the 'cross-cutting' process, and maintaining an overview of school improvement and those activities involved in contract management. This will be delivered via the Intelligent Client Function; this combines subject matter expertise and contract management. The partnership between the Contractor and the Council will support and challenge schools to improve outcomes for all children and young people across the city by: * Intervening early where the performance of a school is declining - ensuring that schools are challenged and secure the support needed to improve to at least 'good'. * Identify schools that may require support, may need to be challenged as well as those that are known to require support and challenge * Delivering a programme that ensures schools remain 'good' and that improvement is sustained. * Taking timely and effective action where underperformance is identified. * Encouraging good and outstanding schools to take responsibility for their own improvement * Encouraging good and outstanding schools to support and challenge others through a mentoring role or similar. * Building strong working relationships with Head Teachers - encouraging challenge and support. * Signposting where schools can access appropriate support. * Work with partners to develop support mechanisms where it is deemed there are gaps in support required. * Exploring regional links for sharing good practice and driving up collective performance across the Midlands. * Knowing our schools better and influencing schools to become engaged in service design, commissioning and delivery at the local level. * Using Peer Review as a means to build trust and change and so bring about school improvement. * Developing appropriate partnerships to attract further resources into schools improvement in Birmingham. The proposed duration of the contract is for a term of two years commencing 1st September 2018. The Council will be using its free to use e-tendering system (in-tend) for the administration of this procurement process and potential suppliers must register with the system to be able to express an interest.
